TL;DR: Canine and feline VP prohormones share a high degree of homology with that of other known mammalian species in the VP hormone and NP II domains and should be of help in the design and use of antibodies and molecular probes for future studies.

Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level
TL;DR: Fos immunohistochemistry provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways in response to polysynaptic activation.

A potent and selective endogenous agonist for the mu-opiate receptor.
TL;DR: The discovery and isolation from brain of a peptide, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2), which has the highest specificity and affinity for the µ receptor of any endogenous substance so far described and they maybe natural ligands for this receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.

TL;DR: The extremely high concentrations and widespread distribution of neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system suggests a number of important physiological roles for this neurotransmitter candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential co-existence of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines in the central nervous system of the rat.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that central catecholamine neurons can be subdivided into distinct sub-groups based upon the coexistence of a specific peptide.
